well, got an exhaust, it's not really what I want, but the only economically feasible thing to purchase (still cost more than the bike did!!!)



and got it mounted



the bike is in my dining room right now, I plan on trimming down the wiring harness to only keep what i need, and I am working on getting an older ninja front end on it for good brakes and a little bit beefier forks, and the ninja swingarm and rear wheel with disk brake.

it should be able to stop well at least!!



also got the carbs on, and working on other stuff.....just took a break to type this :)

Wow, I actually worked on this thing quite a bit today, Carbs mounted, exhaust mounted, electric panel mounted, some wires run, and the coils mounted.... I am proud of myself.

After many months of not touching it....it's getting pretty close to running again!!

I test fit the front end today....man it's a pain when the exhaust goes under the frame!




it's a 2000 SV 650 Front end with brakes and everything. dual pot tokicos!



not sure how much more I am going to update....it appears it's just here for me anyway


well, I have this nifty '86 Ninja swingarm that fits almost perfectly...then i could use the rear 3 spoke wheel from a ninja, and the disc, as it uses a 530 chain also. though the ninja wheel is a 16" split 3 spoke and the SV wheel is a 17" solid 3 spoke....it shouldnt look too bad.
I had the opportunity to buy the rear SV wheel also, but now sure how well it will work in the ninja swingarm, it's way bigger



i am working on procuring a ninja wheel and brake setup....going is slow with no job though!
